Good thing radio isn't really a thing anymore, and probably in particular with the left.

But it does kind of speak to how desperate they are.

It's much more a thing on the right, and it still reaches lots of people in theie cars on rush hour and lower income people who don't have sat radio or other pay services.

He already bought some Cuban-centered conservative stations in Miami a couple of years ago and of course immediately fired the popular hosts and changed programming.

It's basically a way of silencing voices on the right.

Random interesting thing just happened that I'm not sure what the hell it is but I feel like I want to talk about it...

I'm on lunch at work in my office building in Wilmington DE. I'm taking lunch in the lobby of the building. There are many offices and businesses in this building of about 15 floors. I have no idea what any of them do.

So I'm taking my lunch in the ground floor lobby where any and all random people can and do congregate / lunch / lounge. I'm sitting in a booth and randomly sitting next to two professional looking women who I can only see through the reflection of the glass in front of my booth.

And I'm starting to pick up their conversation (not even trying to, they are just in the booth next to me) but they are speaking in hushed tones.

And I'm starting to hear what sounds like a political conversation from them. But not just a political conversation, but strategy.

I could tell pretty quickly that they were leftists, because theytalkedlikethis? if you know what I mean. And I think they mentioned Obama a couple times.

And I didn't hear a lot of what they were saying but they were talking about engaging with influencers and trying to get them involved "on the team".

They also talked about Georgia being an important swing state and trying to help them out with people on the ground, and trying to find people to go down there.

Just a weird random conversation to overhear in the middle of Delaware.

The guy that would replace him isn't any better.

How’s that now?
She’s at +9 with union workers. Biden was at +19. She’s only +14 with Hispanics. Biden was +33.

That is massive. Couple that with voter registration numbers in a state like Pennsylvania. Scott Presler’s organization has flipped 3 or 4 counties from +dem voters to +gop and will probably have time to flip two more counties before Election Day.

@Smitty Presler is worth a follow if you’re interested in what his organization is pulling off in Pennsylvania.

They’ve systematically targeted certain winnable counties and they’re picking them off one by one.

Ron DeSantis sat in his living room tonight and watched his slim hopes of being the nominee in 2028 go up in smoke.
